  • Devon farm site within minutes of several beaches
  • A mile from the River Dart, two from Paignton and three from Totnes
  • Peaceful setting on 400 acres with 15 acres of apple orchards
What might you say to camping on a Devon farm only a couple of miles away from the beach, minutes from Paignton and Totnes, with views that might make you crumble? What about a site that produces its own scrumpy cider from 15 acres of on-site apple orchards among its 400 acres? Like the many returning guests of Broadleigh Farm Park, you might say it’s pretty sweet. If driving makes you crabby, the nine acres of Broadleigh Farm Park are where to base yourself to see the sights of Devon: Paignton and Totnes are two and three miles away respectively; supplies – and pubs – in the village of Stoke Gabriel about 15 minutes’ walk, and the activities and sights of Dartmoor within around half an hour’s drive. Miles of walks are available straight from the site, and for little pipsqueaks, Pennywell Farm and Paignton Zoo are both within (short) driving distance. Facilities including showers, toilets, launderette and washing-up area are kept in apple-pie order: you’ll find free hairdryers too and there are disabled facilities and a parent and baby washroom. Broadleigh is a working farm, so while dogs are welcome, please keep them on leads while on site or unless in the separate dog-walking field.

What customers say

This is a spacious, well-maintained campsite with a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful rural views. Visitors consistently praise the immaculately clean toilet and shower facilities. The site is conveniently located for exploring nearby towns like Totnes, Torquay, and Brixham. While some found the approach roads narrow, many enjoyed the on-site cider barn and evening entertainment. A few noted slight slopes on pitches and occasional issues with shower heat or toilet paper. Overall, it's highly recommended for a relaxing stay.

Lisa R.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Bathroom facilities, always clean. Great space for showering and getting dressed. Great laundry room and washing up areas.

Love the idea of evenings in the barn ( sad we missed it )

Handled a disturbance well and were very proactive and was dealt with swiftly.

Thanks to all as always.

Disliked Wasn’t so much a dislike as a slight inconvenience. - some sloped pitches.
It wouldn’t stop us from returning but we would want to check which pitch we have.


Unfortunately there was a disturbance one evening but the next day the families were moved on and banned from site. It wasn’t anything to do with the site and it was a relief to know they have zero tolerance of disrespectful people.

well worth a visit, we will return soon

Sue F.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Site was very peaceful and relaxed . We arrived and easily found the helpful notice showing us our pitch, the facilities were all self explanatory and there were people with permanent caravans on the site willing to help and advise. Toilets , showers and washing up area were all clean and fresh at all times. Our non electric pitch was level and we had a view over the campsite and the hills opposite. The easy walk to Stoke Gabriel where crabbing was popular and kayaks on the River Dart were available for hire was perfect for an evening stroll. We visited Dartmouth, Paignton, Brixham and Totnes all easy to reach from the site by car , we took the train to Plymouth , plenty of trains available even on a Sunday

Disliked Unfortunately we were not on site at any time when the cider bar was open , this did not spoil our stay but would have been nice to try

Recommend to friends Visit again

Will go again!

Local attractions

The Devon village of Stoke Gabriel is about a mile from the site and has a supermarket, pubs, a shop, a post office and gentle riverside ambles along the Dart to ancient village streets or the old apple orchard. Pick up some crabbing gear and head for the Stoke Gabriel quay to catch a few specimens; this is a well-known crabbing area and just the spot to teach the kids how to master the art. If boats are your bag, hire a vessel to sail up the river to Totnes or catch the ferry downstream to Dittisham, opposite Agatha Christie’s old home and inspiration at the Greenway Estate – no need to keep your eyes peeled for somewhat spectacular river views. From here you can go on to Dartmouth, where the river releases to the sea, and stop off for an afternoon’s shopping or to see Dartmouth Castle, one of a pair of forts protecting the mouth of the Dart Estuary and part of a harbour cruise from Dartmouth to Kingswear. Safe and spotless beaches abound within a few minutes’ drive of Broadleigh, from the award-winning sands of Goodrington, the closest beach to the site, to nearby Brixham and Torquay among other family-friendly sandy fare. If the weather’s a little damp, Goodrington’s Seashore Centre has free admission and info on the history of the 22-mile stretch of the English Riviera. Broadleigh lies roughly halfway between Plymouth and Exeter, both within about 40 minutes’ drive.
